A History of AIDS Through Its Images: In Conversation with Avram Finkelstein

The first AIDS diagnosis in the state of South Carolina was in 1982. Four decades later, the Gibbes joins MUSC Arts in Healing and the Waring Library for We Are All Affected: 40 Years of HIV/AIDS in SC. As a part of the three-day symposium, artist and founder of the Silence=Death campaign Avram Finkelstein will discuss the central role that image strategy played in early HIV/AIDS activism and how social media has changed visual culture and art activism.
